The twilight was only thick, and the golden light turned the Tianshan Mountain behind the academy into a very high altar, and the bluestone cracks on the stone flat seemed to be full of warmth, urging people to go back, but the candidates who had already known the results of the admission test did not leave, gathered around the corner of the stone flat, looked at the young candidate who looked extremely ordinary, and occasionally paid attention to the little maid beside him, and turned his head from time to time to whisper a few words.

The eyes of the candidates are very complicated, there are doubts and shocks, and some candidates can be tested in the admission examination, surpassing the third son of Xie of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and no one has heard of it in advance, and he is completely unknown. The young candidate was recommended by the military department, or honed his good skills in the border grassland, but his mathematics was actually the first, you must know that Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, and Wang Ying, the three candidates who were placed on high hopes, were only a first-class in this subject.

The fast-talking candidate couldn't help but raise his doubts, and immediately got a response from some people, Situ Yilan sorted out the front robe that had been torn by himself before, frowned at Ning Que and said, "How did you take the math test?"

This sentence was full of doubts and puzzlement, and his tone was a little tough and unconvinced, Ning Que was a little displeased when he heard it, but looking at the girl's expression, he was sure that the other party was not malicious, just the typical kind of confused expression after being carried away by unexpected news, so he spread out his hands and smiled innocently, and did not answer.

The military department elected more than 70 candidates this year, which had already caused many people in Chang'an City to be not so happy, and at this time, Ning Que overwhelmed most of the limelight, seeing that he did not answer, those young men and girls in Chang'an City started to talk about Situ Yilan's questioning.

As a student selected by the military department, he actually grabbed the first place in three subjects, and those candidates from the border military villages and major battalions of the Tang Empire certainly had a sense of glory, but their age was on average older than other candidates, so they acted and spoke calmly, although their hearts were towards Ning Que, they were not in a hurry to come out and say anything at this time.

But there is a Chang'an son who can't stand it.

Zhu Youxian shook his fan and walked to Ning Que's side, stretched out his hand to climb his shoulder, glared at those candidates, and said, "... What is there to be dissatisfied? Ning Que is my friend, do you know who he is? People are the masters who go to the red sleeves to drink flowers and wine so that the girl doesn't have to spend money! What else in this world he can't do?"

For an open and active society like Datang, social status and wealth accumulation will change drastically at any time, and it seems too vulgar and tasteless, they value more personal talent, reputation and strength, and who is the most open in Chang'an City.

Of course, if you want to mix in Chang'an City, you can't completely depart from the role of family background, but there are always places where you are not very afraid of family background, such as red sleeves, such as canteens in various ministries, so whoever can go across these places has become a place to compete with each other.

Zhu Youxian said that Ning Que didn't have to spend money to drink flowers and wine in the red sleeves to call the girl, not to humiliate, but to really stick the field for him and help him make a reputation. Sure enough, when they heard Ning Que's red-sleeved move that no one dared to provoke and no one dared to play with a white stripe, the expressions of those young men and women in Chang'an suddenly changed, and they felt a little awe-inspiring when they looked at Ning Que.

was shocked by Zhu Youxian's shout, such as Sang Sang with his little black face up, frowning thick eyebrows, staring at the hand that Zhu Gongzi was resting on the young master's shoulder and kept shaking, listening to him say how the young master went to the Qinglou, the love was not too high, and Situ Yilan's eyes were a little weird when he looked at Ning Que.

"I'm still not convinced, the math exam is just that big question, right is right, wrong is wrong, the master drank a few pots of wine, cut a few catties of plums, and it is impossible to have several answers, so why are you Jia, Xie Sangongzi is just Jiazhong?"

Situ Yilan took Jin Wucai's little hand and shouted, very unwilling.

She is not a rude and unreasonable character on weekdays, but she knows that her female companion Jin Wucai has some admiration for the third prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty, at this time, the limelight of the third prince is all covered by Ning Que, and Wucai's expression is a little gloomy, so she can't help but ask a few more words, in addition to this, there is a more important reason that she probably didn't realize herself.

On the top of the imperial examination room, she was thrown to the ground by the big black horse, and was almost trampled to break her face, as the daughter of General Yunlu, she couldn't even pack up a horse, it can be said that the wolf bèi reached the extreme, and then Ning Que tamed the big dark horse so easily, and also ran out of the only grade on the royal department, which really made her very incomprehensible, and the results on the first grade of this number of subjects made her even more incomprehensible, and it was naturally difficult to be willing to understand it.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Because he was the first person to turn in the math exam. Such an idiot to send points. The guy who can't answer is not as good as an idiot, so the marking has to look at the speed, and the cinnabar that I was marking the paper has not yet melted, and he answered it, so he is on the first...... , this classmate, please let me. ”

An old woman wearing a blue cloth coat and holding a bamboo broom in her hand appeared in the corner of the stone flat at some point, leaning over her body, slowly sweeping away the dust from the feet of the crowd, and the person slowly walked out.

Looking at the back of the old woman who disappeared into the depths of the academy, the candidates were stunned and speechless. In fact, at least four-fifths of the people failed to answer this math exam, but the old woman said that this was a question that an idiot could answer, and someone couldn't help but say angrily: "Who does she think she is?"

A well-known teacher replied coldly: "She is the only female honor teacher in the academy, and those of you who have been admitted to the academy will have all the mathematics subjects in her hands in the next few years." ”

"Is that what it is...... , Second Professor?" Ning Que looked at the rickety old woman in the distance, and forced a smile in his heart.

Xie Chengyun, the third son of the Southern Jin Dynasty, was completely calm at this time, although he also had a youthful and vigorous side, but after all, he was still the first in the total score of today's admission test, and he and these ordinary candidates did not have the same goals, and their vision was not exactly the same. What he paid more attention to was how to enter the second floor of the academy, and the young candidate in front of him should be an ordinary person, so it was very pointless to argue with the other party on these matters.

On the contrary, after hearing the old woman's words, he knew that Ning Que had only taken such a short time to come up with the answer, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly admired, and asked seriously: "I first used the exhaustive method for the question of mathematics, and then came up with an infinite number, and finally I figured out the truth, I don't know this ......."

Situ Yilan leaned into his ear and reported Ning Que's name. Xie Chengyun nodded in thanks, looked at Ning Que and continued: "I don't know how Brother Ning calculated it? Did you use another algorithm, so the speed is so fast?"

"If you know at a glance that it's an infinite number, why bother going forward? If you want to say that the last answer is actually too lazy to push it back, it's almost that number and write it up. ”

Ning Que's answer was quite similar to that of Mr. Al and seemed extremely irresponsible, but in fact he was not saying that the conversion between the so-called infinite concept and the exact value was nothing more than irresponsible ambiguity.

Many people couldn't understand that some people thought that Ning Que had hit a big luck, and some people thought that Ning Que was hiding his secrets, only Xie Chengyun had an understanding, but when he was about to ask again, the voice of the academy teacher roll call sounded in the distance.

"Xie Chengyun Wang Ying, Ning Que, Chen Simiao, He Yingqin...... , report to the operating room. ”

Ning Que was stunned when he heard his name, and went to the technical room to report... What does that mean? Why do you always feel like you are going to the Jingshifang to report and feel cold between your legs? It's just that it doesn't seem convenient to ask anyone about this matter, so Yu walked to Sangsang and explained a few words, and then followed Xie Chengyun and the others to the depths of the academy, and only when he found that there was also a young girl candidate who went to the technical department to report, he relaxed a little.

None of the candidates on the stone flat showed a surprised look, in fact, it was already late and they didn't go home, the main reason was to hear if their names would be called in the technical department, they looked at those people walking towards the depths of the academy, their faces were full of envy, Situ Yilan kicked the bluestone slab in disappointment, looked at Ning Que's back and muttered in a low voice: '... Why did you let this guy steal all the good things?"

It didn't take long for the seven or eight candidates to come back from the depths of the academy, as if they were just going to hang out, Xie Chengyun's expression was calm, Wang Ying and the other candidates could not hide their joy, only Ning Que had no expression on his face at all.

In addition to the six departments, the academy has set up a special department of arts, precisely to train students with the potential to practice, and those students will be exposed to the art of swords and talismans in their future studies, so it is called the Department of Arts. Several of the students who had been named earlier were the ones the instructors thought had potential, and they were subjected to a mental examination.

The reason why Ning Que was selected was related to the twilight flower Xiaokai he left on the ink scroll today and his quick response to the math test questions, the academy thought that he should have the potential for cultivation, but the teacher who was in charge of checking his body rarely lost his hand, and was disappointed to find that he didn't know everything in the Qi Sea Snow Mountain.

It's just that he has experienced a transition between hope and disappointment again, if there is no hope, there is no disappointment, Ning Que is very aware of his physical condition, so he can treat it calmly.

Xie Chengyun had already stepped into the path of cultivation when he was in the Southern Jin Dynasty, of course, there was no excitement, but Wang Ying and the others only knew today that they might have stepped into the legendary mysterious gate, but they couldn't suppress their excitement.

"I can't. Ning Que spread out his hands and explained to everyone, "Oh...... You can't say no...... , the teacher said that my willpower is fine, but the snow mountain qi sea is a little worse, and my body is not suitable for Xiudong"

The academy summoned seven people by name, and he alone failed to pass the examination, and the eyes of the candidates on the stone flat who looked at him became complicated, and the faint hostility in some of their eyes turned into sympathy, and of course, there were also a few people with mockery in their eyes.

The Tang people respect the strong, but they do not discriminate against the weak, and the millennium of romance has cultivated their tolerant and atmospheric state of mind, Situ Yilan, who had been looking at Ning Que unpleasantly, looked at him and sighed, sympathized and comforted: '... Don't be too disappointed, there are only a few people who can practice after all, and you see that we are different, and there is no way. ”

This is true, and if you can't practice, you don't necessarily have to be a waste of wood. ”

Ning Que took the kettle from Sang Sang's hand and took a sip, looked at her and said with a smile: "I am a professional chopping wood. ”
